The County of Hawai‘i Department of Parks & Recreation, in partnership with Hawai‘i Futsal and the WeGo! Foundation, announces that registration is now open for the 2024 Hawai‘i International Futsal Cup to be held in Hilo, August 9-11.
Following a successful inaugural year in 2023, the event returns with opportunities for youth and adults to compete during the three-day tournament.
“Hosting the 2024 Hawai‘i International Futsal Cup creates an opportunity for local athletes to discover and experience a dynamic sport that is relatively new to Hawai‘i but very popular internationally,” said Lindsey Iyo, Recreation Administrator with Parks & Recreation. “It promises to be a really fun weekend of competition, sportsmanship and cultural exchange, with a delegation from Japan joining the tournament again this year. Mahalo to Hawai‘i Futsal and the WeGo! Foundation for partnering with us to bring this exciting event to Hawai‘i Island.”
Originally developed in Uruguay in the 1930s, Futsal is like soccer but is played on a hard court, usually indoors, with five players per side. The smaller space creates a fast-paced sport that emphasizes technique and skill.
The 2024 Hawai'i International Futsal Cup will take place at the Edith Kanaka‘ole Multi-Purpose Stadium, the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium, and Pana‘ewa Park. See below for information about age groups, fees and registration.
